A smash hit kickass-pirational pop musical bursts into life this July
The UK Theatre Award-winning, hugely successful pop musical Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World is heading to The Other Palace for the summer. This critically acclaimed girl power musical packs a popstar punch, with a catchy soundtrack, awe-inspiring characters and TikTok-favourite choreography.
The amazing cast has been announced and returning to the show following its successful winter 2024 tour are Georgia Grant-Anderson as heroine Jade and Elena Breschi . New fantastically great cast members are Meg Hateley, Charlotte Jaconelli, Anelisa Lamola and Aaliyah Monk. Also returning to the show from the winter tour are the incredible swings Summer Priest (Get Up Stand Up!, West End; Heathers The Musical, UK tour) and Rachel Seirian (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, Apollo Theatre), who is also Assistant Choreographer.
Remarkable – and often forgotten – women are lifted from the pages of Kate Pankhurst’s beloved book, published by Bloomsbury, and brought vividly to life on stage. This inspiring musical celebrates historic women and their achievements to a soundtrack of uplifting pop songs – with real-life heroines and pioneers spotlighted including Civil Rights activist Rosa Parks, Nobel Prize-winning scientist Marie Curie, Suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst, author Jane Austen, trailblazing pilot Amelia Earhart, innovative artist Frida Kahlo, and many more!
When young heroine Jade finds the Gallery of Greatness on a day trip, she is introduced to each of these iconic women, discovering their stories and how they changed the course of history as we know it.
Script by Olivier-winning writer and celebrated dramatist Chris Bush (Standing at the Sky's Edge), music by Number 1 hit songwriter Miranda Cooper (Girls Aloud, Kylie Minogue) and Jennifer Decilveo (Miley Cyrus, Beth Ditto), directed by Amy Hodge (Mr Gum and the Dancing Bear National Theatre).
